Chunky Minestrone

A simple but satisfying soup made with fridge leftovers, plus some broken spaghetti, herbs, and paprika.

First I diced a courgette, cut a carrot into small chunks, diced a whole red pepper, and sliced a white onion. There was some leftover Cavolo Nero cabbage in the fridge. I cut the leaves off the stems, diced them, and added them to the pot. Then I added a handful of broken spaghetti, and brought the pot to the boil. Also added about 200 mls of tomato passata, and some vegetable stock. Simmered under glass for about one hour.

After that I added a pinch of basil and oregano, a pinch of paprika, four red dried chillies, and two finely diced cloves of garlic. Simmer for another thirty minutes before serving.
